Pros

Location in Maidenhead centre. Good pay to attract people - no one wants to work there due to reputation. That's it no more

Cons

A complete disaster! Nothing ever materialises and snr management have no understanding of the actual challenges. Complete lack of transparency, people get new roles just because they have been with the company long enough. Promotions are only based on politics and not merits!! Also you will never be allowed to apply for a new role, these are directly appointed and only "friends and family" get in! People who are kicked out from other pharma somehow find shelter in Seqirus, very alarming!!! Staff from both legacy companies are extremely territorial and hard to work with

Pros

Pay is fine, they’re a little stingy with bonuses. But it’s pretty stable and the work life balance is unmatched

Cons

Bonuses are a little sketchy and they try to undermine it as much as they can
